According to a report from The Telegraph, pupils of a UK primary school have been found playing the twisted game, which is being dubbed ‘Strip Fortnite.’

Parents of children aged 12 and under at a school in Leeds, UK, are being warned that games were being played on webcam, with children who get kills in the game having to remove an item of clothing.

School headteacher Naomi Wood stated to parents: “The School Nursing Team have suggested that we share the following information with you.“Many of you may be aware of the risks and concerns around children playing the online game Fortnite, which has a 12 rating but is played by much younger children.

“We have been made aware of an emerging trend, where people are playing strip Fortnite using webcams.

“The rule is that when you achieve a “kill” (elimination) you have to strip off, potentially adding an additional risk from children being exposed to and/or sharing indecent images whilst playing the game.”

The warning has been issued because of the potential risk the game can pose to children, as a larger focus on is placed on protecting children from online sexual abuse.
